Samsung ‘Galaxy NX’ Android-based mirrorless camera spotted

Samsung co-CEO JK Shin just confirmed that the company will release an Android-powered mirrorless camera, and we are already seeing the first leaked promotional shots of the device. The Vietnamese tech site Tinh te has published three images of a device bearing the name Galaxy NX — a product that fuses Samsung’s smart device and camera brands.

The Galaxy NX is clearly a professional-class product, with:

Interchangeable lenses,

A viewfinder,

A big grippy body and a large rear display –

20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor,

1080p video recording support,

Max ISO of 25,600

A dual-core or quad-core Exynos CPU.

The touchscreen back is a “high resolution” 4.3-incher,

If the Galaxy S4 Zoom was Samsung’s answer to a consumer-level Android imaging device, then this
is squarely aimed at the professional market, and may attract attention from high-end users who were underwhelmed by the Galaxy Camera’s performance. We can only speculate as to the eventual price (we imagine it won’t come cheap), but whatever it costs, we’re eager to get our hands on the Galaxy NX at Samsung’s June 20 “Premiere” event.
